a municipal committee, which is elect

of 20 members, ten of whom belong
to workmen’s associations. The fund
contributes partly to the unemploy

partly to non-organiz.ed laborers out

paid their weekly contributions to
the municipal fund. Those unem
ployed through strikes, lockouts, ill

Mr. J. R. Whitney, who is seeking
re-nomination for the office of state
printer at the hands of the Republi
can voters of the State of Oregon,
is following a precedent which has
prevailed for many years, viz: that
when one has performed his duties
acceptably and creditably he is in
variably given a second term.
Mr. Whitney has certainly per
formed the duties of his office in a
careful, conscientious, and business
like manner, employing only union
printers, and paying more than the
scale, besides voluntarily conceding
eight hours as a day’s work, a mat
ter that is of vital importance to or
ganized labor.
Mr. Whitney is a Ffe-long Republi
can and edited the Albany Herald
for nearly 20 years, a paper known
throughout the state for its unswerv
ing allegiance to the Republican party
and the candidates nominated at
their conventions. He is a native
Oregonian, a graduate of the Univer
sity of Oregon, and a practical union
printer.
Mr. Whitney is conducting a clean,
straightforward campaign, and one
that will not require any apologies
after its conclusion. His friends are
confident that he will be re-nominated
without much opposition.

Born in Rhode Island 46 years ago,
Judge Ryan came to Oregon in his
21st year and entered into the em-
plpy of the Brownsville Woolen Mills
Co. at its factory in Brownsville. The
following year he went to Oregon City
where he has since resided. He has
been elected as Mayor, City Recorder,
and School Director and Clerk of Ore
gon City, and for the last seven years
has been the County Judge of Clacka
mas County, in which position he has
proven himself to be an exceptionable
business man, paying off an indebted
ness of over $200,000, and at the same
time constructing each year many
miles of good, improved modern roads,
and decreasing the tax levy each year.
In an interview Judge Ryan says:
“ Being neither president, cashier or
stock holder in any bank or agent nor
employee of any money loaning insti
tution I pledge myself to use and
guard the funds of the State in a
strict conformity to the laws of the
State and for the interests of all of
the people and not discriminate in
favor of any institution or person. As
a man of the people, independent of
any clique, faction or corporation, I
request the support of all Republicans
in securing this nomination, and if
elected I promise to perform ever)’
duty required of the State Treasurer
in an efficient and economical man
ner.”
Colonel Gantenbein is 41 years of age, and graduated at the head o f the

past thirteen years he has practiced law as a member of the firm o f Ganten
bein & Veazie. For three years he has been Dean o f the Law School of
the University of Oregon, teaching nearly all branches o f the law, this work
being most excellent preparation for the position of Judge which he seeks.
